The training offered by OMTI meets the requirements of Mine Safety and Health Administration to keep mining operations in compliance with MSHA regulations. Because of a production fee paid by State permitted mine operators, no tuition is required.
OMTI will continue to help any newly permitted mining operation to get in compliance with any state or federal training regulations. If you would like to attend or send an employee, please call at the number noted above. Our training schedule is posted on the Oklahoma Dept. of Mines website: www.mines.state.ok.us

TRAINING OFFERED IN OKC and TISHOMINGO!!!
In an attempt to be even more responsive to the mining industry, we are offering training classes *monthly in Oklahoma City and once a quarter in Tishomingo. The classes in OKC will be conducted at the Francis Tuttle Vo-Tech at 7301 W. Reno Ave., and the classes in Tishomingo will be held at Murray State College – One Murray Drive in Building 14. By offering these multiple locations, we feel that mining companies in all parts of the state can more easily attend the required training. The Annual Refresher Class that we teach fulfills the requirements for MSHA, as well as the Oklahoma State Supervisor Refresher. If you are interested in attending or sending your employees, please register by calling OMTI at 918/465-1872 or 918/465-1799.
FATALITIES YEAR-TO-DATE
Total: 49 (as of 6/23/10)
Coal: 38 M/NM: 11
One of the eleven metal/nonmetal fatalities occurred at one of our Oklahoma properties. On May 24, 2010, a maintenance foreman was fatally injured at a crushed stone operation. The cause of the accident was the failure to follow established lock-out and tag-out procedures. The employees at OMTI extend their sincere sympathy to the victim’s family and co-workers.
ELECTRICAL RETRAINING
We will offer Electrical Retraining Classes on August 4th and 5th at OMTI. This will be the ONLY opportunity to get this class at OMTI this year. The class will NOT be offered in December as in the past years.
CHANGE IN BLASTING CLASSES
OMTI offers initial Blasting Certification classes several times a year and Blasting Refresher classes monthly. We will now be offering some of these classes in Claremore along with some at OMTI in Wilburton. The location in Claremore is listed below:
N.E. Technology Center

Claremore, OK 74017
Room 104
OKLAHOMA HEALTH & SAFETY CONFERENCE CANCELLED
For the first time in twenty years, Oklahoma will NOT be holding a Health & Safety Conference. The economy has adversely affected the mining industry and attendance in the last few years has decreased. Contributions and door prizes from the mining companies, along with an ever present worry of recruiting interesting and knowledgeable speakers, led to this decision by OMTI. The Mining Commission voted on the issue at the last meeting and agreed. If the economy improves in the next year, we would be happy to reinstate the annual conference. The MSHA South Central District will be holding a conference in Albuquerque next spring. If you have any questions or comments about this decision, please do not hesitate to call us at OMTI.
